The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Pikmin 4.

The Sun-Speckled Terrace (ひだまりの庭?, lit.: "Courtyard of Sunlight") is the first area in Pikmin 4 after the tutorial in the Rescue Command Post. It resembles a garden with many pots and bricks. Ice Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin and Blue Pikmin can be discovered in this area. There are 7 rescues to be made, 34 treasures (14 above ground), and 2 Onions as well as 2 Flarlic bulbs. This area has Sparklium × 2,920 worth of treasure, of which Sparklium × 1,140 is above ground.

Plot

This is the first area players land in hopes to find Captain Olimar, more Rescue Corps members, and more Sparklium. The player will also find more Pikmin types, such as Yellow Pikmin and Ice Pikmin.
